Hyde town centre was invaded by some 'out of this world' characters during its latest artisan market.
Local group the Hyde Fundraisers brought the Civic Square and Hyde Indoor Market to life last Saturday (4 September) for a specially themed sci-fi event - which was due to take last year but was postponed due to Covid-19.
Families turned out to have lots of science-related fun and meet the characters, while the Civic Mayor of Tameside Councillor Janet Cooper also attended with her consort Dennis Fitzpatrick.
